The sea was calm, with seagulls chirping in the distance. Accompanied by the sound of the waves crashing against the ship, it seemed very spacious.
Even further away, several figures of light shot towards the main city like bolts of lightning.
By the time Ye Kong and the other two rushed out, they were already one step too late.
Wang Yue and the others must have thought that the area outside the ship was the most dangerous. Thus, they left early and went straight for the exit without stopping.
After coming out, they split into five groups and fled back to the city!
This ship was not too far from the main city. Even if the rainbow cloud under Ye Kong's feet moved at an astonishing speed, it would still be too late. They could not possibly start a fight in the air above the main city. Don't forget, this was Mani Planet! There were so many Mani believers that they could drown them with their saliva!
When Ye Kong rushed out of the trading hall, he had already used his Gold Sin Immortal Rope to send out an arrest signal. Although this Gold Sin Immortal Rope was restricted in the ship, it still had the function of sending signals to subordinates.
Pity those prison guards, some had just brought girls into the house, some had just placed a large sum of money in the casino … But these were not important.
To them, an order was their life!
The ten prison guards arrived quickly. Ye Kong had just arrived, and they were all here. It seemed that these prison guards were of good quality.
However, no matter how fast they were, they did not catch up.
Wu Yong was vexed, "We failed on the verge of success! We were just one step too slow! "
All the prison guards cupped their hands, "Lord, what should we do now?"
Ye Kong also sighed in his heart. They were just one step too slow. Why did his brain not think of waiting outside at the first instance?
Just as he was vexed, a female receptionist came forward and asked, "May I know which one of you is Iron Prison Mountain's Governor Ye?"
Ye Kong then took off his mask and said, "I am."
The female receptionist said, "Lord Ye, I just received Boss Li's order to cooperate with you."
Ye Kong nodded, "Then take a look, have you seen this person before?"
With that, he took out Wang Yue's portrait from his Qiankun bag. This was also a secret work. As long as one was a famous person in the Immortal World, their appearance and the appearance of their family members were all kept in a secret database, so they could be found at any time.
The receptionist took a look and shook her head. "No, it's not this person. None of the monks that came just now looked like this. The leader had dark skin. "
Wu Yong said anxiously, "Their appearances are not accurate. It's very likely that they've disguised themselves. Let me ask you, is the voice of the monk in the kasaya very high-pitched? Like a woman. "
"Yes, yes." The receptionist quickly nodded.
Wu Yong let out a long sigh, slapped his thigh and said, "I was a step too late and let Wang Yue, that evil thief, escape! Is this destiny? "
The female receptionist asked doubtfully, "Escape? Nope. Those who came out with him have all left. He's the only one who hasn't left and has returned to the boat. "
Wu Yong was overjoyed. "That's right! Wang Yue is afraid of being discovered by us, so he will definitely not return to the city! He sent people back to deliver the goods, but he didn't go back himself! "
Ye Kong waved his hand. "Men! Portraits! Arrest the entire ship! "
The scale of the Treasure Gathering Ark was huge. A dozen prison guards were really not enough. Ye Kong immediately called over the ten prison guards who were guarding his home.
Although Li Yao said that it was not good to arrest people on her ship, it was fine for him to look for them. Ye Kong ordered Kuang Peng to bring a few prison guards to stand guard outside the ark. He, Wu Yong, and the other prison guards spread out on the ship, searching for traces of Wang Yue.
This way, Ye Kong would not be able to hide his identity even if he wanted to. Many of the attendants on the ark were followers of Mani Sect. Zhou Jiajun soon found out.
"Hmph! Why don't I bring some men to the outside of the ark and lure Ye Kong's people out, then annihilate them all! "Cheng Yipeng's fierce face twitched, revealing a fierce look.
Zhou Jiajun shook his head. "That's not right. That Big Boss Li didn't allow him to arrest people on the ship because she doesn't want to shed all pretense of cordiality with us. However, if we attack Ye Kong, that woman won't want to see that happen. It'll definitely force her to act. We can't act rashly. "
"But I hate that brat to death. I hate that I didn't kill him when he disguised himself as a woman." Cheng Yipeng rubbed his bald head in frustration.
"Don't be upset about what happened in the past. Amitabha. As the saying goes, 'Opportunity doesn't come often.' That brat has grown too big. There's nothing we can do at the moment. His Gold Sinful Celestial Rope alone is enough to capture anyone below an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial. Do you think you'll be able to deal with him? "
"I didn't expect that brat to grow so fast. I have to avoid him now." Cheng Yipeng slapped his thigh in frustration and said, "Don't tell me we don't have a way to deal with him?"
Zhou Jiajun said with a smile, "Of course. Once I become a Celestial Duke, his Gold Sinful Celestial Rope won't be able to do anything to me … At that time, we'll use Wang Yue as bait to lure him out and kill him once and for all!"
As soon as Zhou Jiajun finished speaking, he slammed the table with an imposing manner.
"Good!" Cheng Yipeng clapped his hands excitedly.
Zhou Jiajun then ordered, "Ask Wang Yue to disguise himself again and sneak into the Treasure Gathering Ark. Once he survives this half a month, the world will be at peace!"
"Understood!" Cheng Yipeng cupped his fists and asked, "Will the Heavenly Tribulation power they sent be of help to you, Grand Master?"
Zhou Jiajun laughed and said, "Of course, it'll be of help!" Then, his expression turned sinister as he said coldly, "The five merchant houses are trying to distract me from transcending the Heavenly Tribulation at the last moment. They want me to study the so-called Heavenly Tribulation power! Their schemes are vicious and they deserve to be punished! They must be backed by the Mani temples. Once this matter is settled, I'll annihilate these five merchant houses! "
Cheng Yipeng finally understood that the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation power was not a good thing. It was a meticulous scheme.
Cheng Yipeng exclaimed in shock, "So that's how it is! Grand Master, you … "
Zhou Jiajun said with a smile, "However, they don't know that this page is of great help to me when I transcend the Heavenly Tribulation!"
Zhou Jiajun raised his head and laughed. Cheng Yipeng chanted Amitabha and said, "Excellent! We are also disciples of the Buddhist Sect. Buddha will protect us!"
On the Treasure Gathering Ark, Li Yingru Immortal Lord had already discovered the problem. The pair of embroidered shoes was not the Cloud-treading Shoes, but a pair of ordinary embroidered shoes!
What made Li Yingru Immortal Lord the most furious was that this pair of embroidered shoes was actually a pair of worn-out shoes left behind by someone else! The soles of the shoes were covered in mud, and the heels of the shoes were worn out!
"Shameless shrew! How dare you bully me! If this Immortal Lord catches you, I'll definitely tear you into a thousand pieces to vent my hatred! "
Although Li Yingru Immortal Lord was furious, she could do nothing but tear the pair of worn-out shoes. At that time, the three people were all wearing masks, so who knew who they were?
However, after Li Yingru asked around, someone saw the three people walk to the table in front and talk to Li Yao for a short while. Li Yingru was unhappy and sent an immortal sword message to Li Yao.
Li Yao could only pretend not to know, and said that the three people were trying to sell her some tiger bone wine, which she flatly refused.
This time, Li Yingru had no other choice. She stayed on the Treasure Gathering Ark for a few days and didn't coincidentally meet those people. In the end, she could only resentfully leave.
Time passed day by day, and the day of Zhou Jiajun's tribulation was approaching. However, Ye Kong and the others still couldn't find him!
They didn't know where Wang Yue was hiding. No matter how much Ye Kong and the others asked around, they couldn't find any trace of him. It was as if he didn't exist!
At the lowest level of the Treasure Gathering Ark, there was a huge Immortal Array. Inside, there were many small buildings that were close to each other. If not for the fact that the style of the small buildings was more classical, it would have looked a little like a villa district on Earth.
This was the permanent service provided at the lowest level of the Treasure Gathering Ark.
Real estate in the Immortal World wasn't worth much, but the real estate here was very expensive. Ordinary people couldn't afford it. Those who could own a small building here were generally those old monsters who would never die. It was already hopeless for these people to improve, so they might as well buy a house on the Treasure Gathering Ark and live a miserable life here.
At this moment, there was a group of people walking between the small buildings.
"Lord Ye, I am the steward of this level. Please call me Xiao Liu." A young immortal strode forward, cupped his fists towards Ye Kong, and knelt down on one knee. He was here to cooperate with Ye Kong's investigation.
"Please rise." Ye Kong helped Steward Xiao Liu up and asked, "You know who we are looking for. Tell us everything you know. If we can capture the fugitive, my Iron Prison Mountain can bestow upon you an Immortal medal for your bravery and righteousness!"
Steward Xiao Liu thought to himself, what kind of medal is this? I've never even heard of it. Why don't you just give me a hundred immortal jade?
However, he didn't dare to say this. Instead, he thanked Ye Xiwen again, and then began to explain, "There are indeed a few buildings here that belong to Zhou Jiajun, Cheng Yipeng, and a few other leaders of the Mani Sect. However, according to our intuition, these few small buildings haven't been opened for thousands of years. Therefore, the fugitive wouldn't be hiding in them. "
Ye Kong nodded. It was impossible for Wang Yue to live in those houses that were marked as the owners of the Mani Sect.
He asked again, "Then, have there been any strange phenomena recently? You haven't seen anyone who's suspected to be the fugitive coming in or out? "
Xiao Liu said, "The person you're talking about is surrounded by a large group of Mani Sect monks. His gaze is fierce, and his voice is sharp. That's right, I've seen him, and not just once. "
Wu Yong was overjoyed. "Tell us quickly, which house does he live in?"
Xiao Liu said bitterly, "I only know that he lives here, but I don't know which house. Our rule is that we're not allowed to inquire about these things, and that the residents can enjoy full freedom. Moreover, I didn't know that he was a fugitive at that time. If I'd known, I would've followed him. "
Wu Yong was furious. "Since he's here, then it's easy. We'll check each house one by one!"
"No!" Steward Xiao Liu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Sirs, you can't! This is against the rules of our Li Family's business. If we can't even guarantee our safety while living here, who would come to our Treasure Gathering Ark in the future? Moreover, this isn't the most important thing. Don't think that this small district is peaceful and quiet. Do you know how many almighty people of the Immortal World live here? I've even heard that the Four Human Kings, who have long disappeared, and a few almighty people who used to be Immortal Emperors, live here in seclusion. If we disturb them, even your Iron Prison Mountain won't be able to bear the consequences, much less our Li Family! "
"There are still these people living here?" Ye Kong also frowned. He could only think of another way.
At this moment, someone came to report and said, "Sirs, Big Boss Li sent someone to deliver a message saying that Hong Mengni is about to leave. Sirs, if you have the time, please go and see her."
